The pane can be popped out into its own window.

Temperature Controls for the extruder(s) and heated bed (if present).

If the printer's controller board supports it, and if enabled through Printer settings, this section allows for direct control of the printer's main power.

The Macros section is for saving snippets of G-Code as easy-to-use buttons. The image on the right has a few examples, blurred as they may be since those particular buttons are not included with MatterControl by default.
